About Shaktimaan

The original Shaktimaan TV series aired from 1997 to 2005. It cultivated a devoted following, resonating with audiences of all ages, including young adults who grew up watching the Indian superhero. While films like Krrish and Minnal Murali brought superheroes to the big screen, none have matched the cultural impact of Shaktimaan in its TV format.

This new OTT series presents an excellent opportunity to revisit or expand the legacy of such an iconic character. Ranveer has portrayed larger-than-life roles in films and is seen as the perfect actor to bring a fun, adventurous superhero to the screen. It could also serve as his debut in the OTT space. He is currently busy shooting for Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar.
